16" and 20" Vinyl Discs

16 and 20" discs — Although 12" was the largest disc diameter used in consumer products, broadcasting studios made use of 16" and 20"-diameter 78 rpm acetate "transcriptions," used for time-delaying programs and for prerecording broadcasts. These could provide up to 20 minutes of unbroken program material with very good fidelity (indistinguishable from live to casual, but not to critical listeners). Early classical LP recordings were in fact initially recorded on 20" 78-rpm acetates for later transfer to LP. 16" turntables are still seen in professional broadcast equipment, although it is probably very rare that any disk larger than 12" is ever played on them.

A VINYL COME BACK...PLEASE

Vinyl has had a long standing reputation for purity of sound, clarity and a "fullness" that cannot be duplicated in CD'S. Yeah, sure, CD'S are great..in fact, CD'S are awesome! (At least now that you can burn your own without blowing your whole wad to purchase a single CD only to find out there was only ONE song you loved!). But, let's face it, vinyl is still king...that's right, I said it...vinyl is, was and always will be king.
Thankfully, we are seeing a resurgence of vinyl....artists are now having their new music pressed (that must make vinyl pressers VERY happy) and people are....well, people are enjoying it!
If you own vinyl, you obviously own a stereo system. Maybe it's that tricked out piece of work you put together in the 70's ...your piece of art..."your masterpiece", yeah,  OK, your baby. (I am sure it's sweet).
Or you maybe you own a new system you just purchased...maybe you know a lot about it...maybe you don't. I don't know, but that doesn't really matter...what DOES matter is that you now own (or still) your own vinyl records and your own stereo system...again, SWEET!
So what about vinyl's come back??
Oh, it's here to stay....it may even out run CD'S! (yes, I said it).
Here is where you can get the best of BOTH worlds...Bags Unlimited has a stereo that allows you to play your records and turn them into CD'S...but wait...there's more! CROSLEY RECORD PLAYER! With the Crosley Songwriter CD Burner, you can now simply take your old vinyls and convert them to CD in minutes with just a few simple steps. The Songwriter CD Burner allows those old vinyls to be recorded in a digital audio format for high quality sound on compact disc. It also allows you to record from cassette to CD. However, if you still want to enjoy your albums old style, then Crosley's Songwriter offers a 3 speed turntable for your listening enjoyment.
Oh, there is so much to vinyl that LOVE cannot describe the joy that seeing my old albums brings. (btw, the Crosely is on sale at Bags Unlimited right now).
